Old Master Mo also looked at him solemnly, âWhatâs going on? Whatâs Yiyi up to?â
Xiao Yebai picked up his tea cup and spoke calmly, âSheâs been boarding at school lately.â
As the words fell, there was a moment of silence in the living room.
Since Xu Jing and Qu Yunyao no longer lived here, the old house had become much quieter. Now, it felt unusually quiet.
After a brief silence, Old Master Mo asked with a stern face, âWhy did she decide to board at school?â
âExactly, why would she suddenly go to stay at school when everything was fine?â Mo Yaoxiong also asked.
Mo Weiyi has been a pampered personality since she was little. Moreover, from the age of 10, when Xiao Yebai came to the Mo family, she was always by Xiao Yebaiâs side.
Due to this, after starting high school, with Old Master Moâs consent, Mo Yaoxiong sent his daughter to a boarding school.
As a result, out of the five school days a week, she would come home to find Xiao Yebai nearly four days a weekâ¦
Now that sheâs in college, she doesnât need to board at school. Besides, sheâs been married to Xiao Yebai for two years, and during these two years, sheâs never mentioned anything about boarding. Why did she suddenly decide to board at school?
Xiao Yebai continued to explain calmly, âShe said she needs to prepare for the final exams.â
Old Master Mo: ââ¦â
Mo Yaoxiong: ââ¦â

The black Audi sped smoothly through the vast night.
Rong An was holding the steering wheel, occasionally glancing at the back seat through the rearview mirror.
Mo Weiyi, ever since she got into the car, remained quietly seated, looking out the window.
So quiet that it was eerie.
In fact, Mo Weiyiâs behaviour over the past few days was as if she had turned into someone else, silent and gloomy.
The once vibrant and sunny little princess now seemed a bit like Xiao Yebai.
However, no matter how puzzled he was, as a subordinate, Rong An would not ask anything.
â¦
Arriving at the old house, Rong An drove the car directly into Old Master Moâs courtyard.
Seeing the familiar black Bentley parked in front, Rong An spoke, âPrincess, Young Master Xiao has already arrived.â
Having said that, he looked into the rearview mirror.
Mo Weiyi still didnât react. She just took her coat, put it on, and then quietly got out of the car carrying her school bag.

As soon as she entered the living room, the maid, Aunt Yang, announced, âThe princess is back.â
Mo Weiyi looked up and met a pair of black and cold eyes.
Her heart skipped a beat, her pupils slightly constricted.
She quickly averted her gaze, lowered her head, and began to change her shoes.
It had been exactly five days since their last encounter.
Mo Weiyi would never have believed that she would do such a thing in the past, but now, she had actually done it.
Even though seeing him just now did affect her emotions a bit.
No!
She had to hold up!
Mo Weiyi kept telling herself this.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
After changing into her slippers, her face regained its usual indifference.
Sitting down on the couch, Old Master Mo asked, âYiyi, Yebai said youâre boarding at school?â
Mo Weiyi nodded her head, deliberately adopting a casual attitude as she said, âI have exams coming, and my courses are quite hectic these days. Coming back and forth every day is too troublesome, so I decided to board at school with Wanwan.â
Su Wanwan, Old Master Mo naturally knew her, she has been Yiyiâs good friend since kindergarten.
Butâ¦
He looked at Mo Weiyi, his tone skeptical, âIs it really just that?â
âWhat else could it be?â Mo Weiyi curved her lips. âGrandpa, your granddaughter has been studying hard all this time. You should encourage me!â
Old Master Mo let out a cold snort. He clearly didnât believe her.
He turned to Xiao Yebai, âIf this brat is the one that bullied you, you tell me, and Iâll teach him a lesson.â
Xiao Yebai didnât say anything.
Mo Weiyi quickly said, âNo, itâs nothing to do with Xiaâ¦â
The word âYebaiâ almost slipped out.
She paused, then continued, âIt has nothing to do with him.â
Old Master Mo squinted his eyes.
Although he was already in his eighties, those eyes were still sharp and intense, revealing a glimpse of the hegemonic spirit he had in his youth.
His gaze moved back and forth between the two youngsters, and he let out a gruff huff. âIt had better be.â
âOld Master, dinner is ready.â Shi Bo timely reminded.
Mo Weiyi set down her school bag, quickly moved to the wheelchair, âGrandpa, have your legs been hurting lately?â
Old Master Mo averted his gaze, âMuch better.â
Xiao Yebai squinted his eyes, stood up, and followed.
The dining table was already filled with a variety of sumptuous dishes.
Mo Weiyi rolled the elderâs wheelchair to the head of the table and sat down beside Xiao Yebai.
Howeverâ¦
The entire dinner was very quiet.
Especially as Xiao Yebai kept drinking, one after the otherâ¦
Even someone as dull as Mo Yaoxiong could finally detect that something was wrong between the young couple.
With a âclack,â the old man put down his chopsticks, âYebai, come with me to the study.â
Xiao Yebai raised his eyes, yet before he could say a wordâ¦
âGrandpa.â Mo Weiyiâs voice suddenly rang out.
The old man looked at his granddaughter, âWhat do you want to say?â
Mo Weiyi bit her lip, âIâm a little tired, can you not call him to discuss things right now? I want to go rest.â
ââ¦â The old manâs eyebrows furrowed in an instant.
Simply getting up, Mo Weiyi then pulled at Xiao Yebaiâs arm,âLetâs go.â
His thin lips hooked up into a slight smirk. Xiao Yebai stood up and slightly nodded at the two older people, âWe will retire first.â
The performance of the wife taking the lead finally made the old man suppress his suspicion.
**
Mo Weiyi led Xiao Yebai out of the dining room.
Once they got outside, she still seemed to be a little worried and continued to drag him away.
Not until they had left the main room did she finally let go of his hand.
However, quite soon, it was the manâs large hand that held hers.
âWhat are you doing?â Before Mo Weiyi could react, Xiao Yebai kept pulling her forward.
The cold wind was whistling. Both of them werenât wearing their coats, but Mo Weiyi felt as though her hand was burning. She tried to withdraw her hand the entire way, but it turned out to be unsuccessful until they entered the north villa.
With a âbangâ sound, the big hand closed the door, and Mo Weiyi only felt a blur in front of her eyes, a pain on her back, and was suddenly pressed against the door panel by him.
Xiao Yebai lowered his head, and the familiar male scent immediately filled her nostrils.
He had just drunk quite a lot of alcohol, which made Mo Weiyiâs heart flutter. She began to struggle desperately, âWhat are you doing? Let me go.â
âNo.â Xiao Yebai lowered his head and looked into her clear and beautiful cat-like eyes, his voice low and bewildered, âWhy didnât you tell grandpa the truth just now?â
Mo Weiyi bit her lip and turned her face away, refusing to look at him.
âSpeak.â
Her chin was grasped and turned back towards him.
The two were very close. Mo Weiyi was forced to look at his handsome yet cold face. She finally said, âBecause this is a matter between us, I donât want to involve grandpa.â
Xiao Yebaiâs thin lips opened and he sneered, âLiar.â
Mo Weiyi didnât explain further. She just started pushing him again, âThink whatever you want! Let go of me.â
âNo.â
Mo Weiyi got angry, and her force began to increase, but Xiao Yebai seemed determined not to let her go. Unable to match his strength, she ended up exhausting herself.
Just then, her cellphone suddenly rang. Mo Weiyi hurriedly said, âI need to answer the call.â
Xiao Yebai still didnât move, âgo ahead.â
Mo Weiyi bit her lip.
The phone kept ringing non-stop.
Oh, never mind.
She lowered her head, and with difficulty pulled out her phone from her pocket. When she saw the name displayed on the screen, she paused for a second.
The call was from Ling Zhizhou.
Because she was looking down, she didnât see the brief coldness that flitted across the manâs expression.
Then.
âWhy arenât you picking up?â Xiao Yebai asked with an icy voice.
She didnât say anything but the moment he spoke, Mo Weiyi seemed to have been provoked and immediately answered the call, âHello.â
âSenior sister, are you free tomorrow afternoon?â
Ling Zhizhouâs sunny and tender voice and Xiao Yebaiâs formed two extremes. When this voice rang in her ears, Mo Weiyi felt slightly relieved.
âWhatâs up?â
âThe club has organized a drama viewing session and I accidentally booked two extra tickets. Do you want to join? You can also bring Su Wanwan with you.â
âA drama?â Mo Weiyiâs wide, clear eyes turned slightly, âWhat kind of drama?â
ââSecret Love Peach Blossom Source,â it has fantastic ratings online.â
Xiao Yebai was holding her. They were very close, so he heard everything very clearly.
Mo Weiyi wasnât sure whether it was her imagination, but she suddenly felt his hand tighten, hurting her a little.
Mo Weiyi took a deep breath and tried to push him away, but failed.
For whatever reason, she said to the person on the other end of the line, âOkay, what time?â
âThree in the afternoon.â
âAlrightâ¦â
Before she could finish, the cell phone in her hand was suddenly snatched away.
With a flick of Xiao Yebaiâs hand, the mobile phone was slammed against the wall and then bounced back onto the floor.
